This is not a trivial issue. I'm not sure my site will port to a newer version of Joomla. I'd really like to see a new 1.0.x version of Joomla that at least works with PHP 5.3. What would it take to make it happen?

Unless you interest or pay a developer to work on it, Joomla 1.0.x series is not supported - which simply means as it sounds - no further development, security fixes, etc. will be conducted by the Joomla developers. I suggest you set up a test server on your local PC. Import your present site and Joomla series and then start the migration process as soon as possible.

My Joomla Advice is my personal experience. It does not means I am right or wrong. It just means that I work with Joomla in my own way and it works for me.

OK I'm am seriously considering funding a PHP 5.3 compatible version of Joomla 1.0.16. I'm looking for bids to do this. I am also looking for other people who might want to share the expense. Post your bids and responses here.

My site (www.beer.gr) sits on 1.5.15 but the PHP upgrade to 5.3 broke it, so my host had to downgrade it to 5.2. I no longer have those error messages so I can't provide any further info about this, but the fact is that it wasn't working on 5.3. I recall that the error displayed was fired by a file inside the /library/ directory, so it wasn't a matter of some outdated template.

First of all this is a 1.0.x forum. Second, the 1.5.15 series works just fine on php 5.3 thought there were some third party extensions that had not been made compatible with php 5.3.

@dhuelsmann: Looking for a solution to the issue I landed here and my post was in reply to yours ("It does as of version 1.5.15"), so I thought I had to voice my experience. The error originated from the core joomla code (/libraries/joomla/html/parameter.php), not a template or add-on.

Totally green to Joomla as someone built my site on Joomla years ago and now I need to know for myself.

I had the same problem with my site, hence I found this post after a good googling.
We inserted the code and boom there it was, the login page to the backend.
Found out that the site was running version 1.0.12.................. time to upgrade!

Installed an older joomlapack on 1.0 on ther server to prepare migration to 1.5 created a back up and sql file.
I Installed 1.0 and 1.5 locally, on my pc to start to make sense of it all so i didn't mess up the live site.
I installed mtwmigrator on 1.5 to shift across from 1.0. Im a little stuck connecting with the database to perform the task..............(remember, its my 1st time ) I then went to log in to the backend on the live site and low and behold I can't see the the joomla log in page again. Ahhhh! Any pointers would be great.

The live site is generating a rather large error log which keeps chewing up my bandwidth, so the sooner I can get this fixed the better.
